The Council Gets a Front Door

The council worked. One request went to Claude, Codex and Kimi, they answered independently, and nothing touched the lab without a human approval bound to a hash of the exact plan. It also lived entirely in a terminal, which meant that to approve a run I had to type a run id like hc-20260822-6fbfa5 and then re-type the original 350-character request verbatim, because resume rebuilds the context pack from it.
